Animals: Today, my mom informed me that she wouldn't be joining the rest...

By KitKat270 - 28/05/2009 01:40 - Canada

Today, my mom informed me that she wouldn't be joining the rest of the girls in the limo ride to the church for my wedding ceremony because she wants to have her car with her. Why? Because she is planning to leave my wedding reception half way through to go home and take her dog out to pee. FML

Today, I got a phone call saying I was no longer a bridesmaid for a wedding in June. It's my mom's 4th wedding. I'm getting replaced by our dog. FML

Priorities

By Anonymous - 20/03/2016 15:58 - Germany - Berlin

Today, my father-in-law left my wedding reception because he had to feed the dog. This would have been alright, if he hadn't been absent for nearly two hours. Apparently, just feeding the dog and leaving would have hurt the animal's feelings so he stayed to play with him for a while. FML

Today, my mother-in-law "borrowed" my dog without asking, to show him off to her friends. My dog is my service animal, and I'm not comfortable leaving the house without him. I have to be at work in an hour, and she's not picking up her phone. FML

Today, my mother locked me out of the house. Why? The dog and her needed some time to talk. FML

The doggo of our discontent

By doggone shame - 25/01/2023 08:00

Today, my wife is refusing to go on our honeymoon because the resort we chose won’t allow pets. She’s now angry with me for not checking before we booked the place, and is threatening divorce if I go without her. I told her we could just get a dog sitter, but she refuses. Oh well. FML

Insane

By moving out first chance I get! - 03/03/2023 18:00

Today, my insane mother struck again. She refused to drive me to my doctor’s appointment for my asthma because the office won’t let her bring her precious doggo inside and it’s too cold to sit in the car with it. No, she won’t leave it at home like a normal person, and no it’s not a service dog. FML

Manage this

By fuck this company - 14/06/2021 07:01 - United States

Today, the same manager who wrote me up for missing work when my mom had had a stroke, thought it was perfectly acceptable to announce she was leaving work 6 hours early to take her dogs to the groomers. Apparently, that appointment was more urgent than me riding in an ambulance with my mother. FML

Today, my girlfriend dumped me because I didn't attend her dog's funeral, and was therefore an insensitive bastard. I couldn't attend because my mum has cancer and I was driving her to a hospital appointment. FML

Today, I called my mom to make sure she could attend on the wedding day my fiancé and I had discussed. She started off with criticizing the venue we considered, then went on to criticize my fiancé, and then stated she would under no circumstances help out, but demanded to pick my wedding dress. FML

#2 I'd think that her daughter's wedding is more important than this. If the dog is so important, she should have made plans for someone else to watch the dog that day so she could be there the whole time to support her daughter.

I agree with #13. What's the big deal? Jesus she's not SKIPPING the whole freaking wedding here, there is nothing wrong with going home real quick to let the dog out so he/she doesn't pee all over the house. OP you might need to be less of a Bridezilla.

It sucks, but I'm sure shes coming back.

She's coming back though right? It's not like she's missing the ceremony just a bit of the reception, which isn't the most important thing ever, it's just a party... Relax...If you get all stressed about every little bit of your wedding you won't enjoy it at all, sad way to spend the supposedly 'happiest day of your life'

You sound a little selfish. It's not like she's going to miss the ceremony. Maybe she couldn't find anyone to take the dog out for her.

What? This is the worst FML ever, nothing applies, I just want to vote "You're a self centered drama queen" but no such option exist. It's your _reception_, she'll see all the ceremony (Which is what counts, really) and she'll be there to greet the guest, and she'll most likely come back again.

What else do you expect? It's not like she's going to miss the ceremony or something. A dog can't go a whole day without taking a walk. He can't go to the toilet just like us people. So your overreacting.

I think sometimes people lose sight of what a wedding is, it's not about expensive dresses, flowers, a big party, photographers, cake, limos etc. It's about showing someone that you love them so much you want to spend forever with them, all the 'stuff' associated with it is immaterial and unneccessary. For the half hour or so that your Mum is gone you probably wouldn't notice if she didn't tell you as you'd be talking to other guests anyway. I'm sure she'll be back in time for your Dad's embarassing speech about things you did when you were younger.
